Helfie

We are in a world of Selfie! Technology has enabled us to do everything independently. Our grandparents cannot imagine that photography can be child’s play! Difficult tasks have been broken down into bits and automated through IoT (Internet of Things).While we have been able to surmount every hump towards the glory of mankind, we have yet not tackle the menace of chronic diseases. Every second person in our society is affected by chronic conditions, be it diabetes, cardio-vascular diseases, arthritis, asthma, obesity, depression or stroke. It is growing by leaps and bounds amongst us, without we realizing this monster.

In this context, I want to talk about Helfie. Selfie allows you to capture your precious moments by taking self-action. Similarly, if you want to enjoy healthy moments of life in your sunset days, you need to take self-action for your health today. Technology is available to support you in Helfie. Wearable Tech products like Activity Tracker or Smart wristband (GetActive, Fitbit, Jawbone UP) and multitude of Fitness Apps on Smartphone are at your disposal at affordable prices. These products allow you to take self-action (Helfie) based on real DATA.

While we are good in adopting cutting edge technologies, sometime we fail to look at very obvious need for sustaining human race. Infertility is another form of chronic condition, which is affecting people spending sedentary life, working long hours on computer under high stress environment.

GetActive is a Helfie movement. Take 10,000 steps, post on social media, compete with friends and create a virtuous cycle. It is YOU who can do that, not medical doctors or any break-through research in medicine can bring this change.
